    I wouldn't mind Small if he backed up what he says in the ring. He was very poor on Friday and was deluded about his performance.He seems to struggle when fighters don't walk in straight lines looking for him like Hall did.Nowhere near world class imo

    Well, it hasn't worked if that is his motivation. Who in their right mind would ever want to watch him live again after this Friday?;):lol:

    Sorry Silly, but Losfer is right. I'd rather watch Skelton v Sprott on repeat than watch Small fight again.

    Yes, '**** talkin sells!' when it's Mayweather, Naz, Ali - But when it's a guy who lands an average of 3 punches a round it makes very little difference. Ultimately, exciting fighters sell and Small was woeful on Friday.

    It really was one of the worst performances I've ever seen from a British champion.

    Re El Maachi

    It was only against a journeyman but those punches he was landing looked so spiteful and he looked a good talent

    I was actualy wincing at some of the shots landing and thought that this guy could go places if managed right

    Whether he beats small or not I dont know

    El Maachi is the real deal, believe me he is frighteningly powerful for a welter- hits hard enough to stop light heavies, if you guys knew the ins and outs of his losses you'd be sold! His talent deserves to be showcased.. He's not invincible but he's a better and more exciting fighter then Antony Small.

    I just feel he's too wild sometimes. I think it will take a lot at this stage in his career to try and iron out all the bad habits he's picked up training himself. He does have ver good power however against decent fighters he wont be allowed to just throw bombs from wherever he feels suited, and then we'll get to see hwat he's about.

    I wish the lad the best as he seems a genuine bloke and I like the idea that he trained himself and has got this far on his own even though I think ultimately it will be this very fact that proves to be his downfall.

    El Maachi looked v strong, powerful and spiteful. He makes a helluva lota mistakes, but so does Anthony Small and he has managed a british Championship, without having strength, power or spitefulness! I think he deserves a bigger fight, does he have a proper manager yet?

    How long was he training him self for? also i heard the itv4 team say he didnt take boxing up til his 20's did he box amateur? also the itv team said he beats up world class fighters in the gym do you know the names of any of them? Cos itv were trying to sell him like he was the most avoided fighter since charley burley:huh
